darkthrone Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 as long as i can give them melta guns then i'm happy lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Molon Labe Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 You are better off giving honor guard meltas than the VV since VVs can only take infernus pistols not full on melta guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Getting the new codex will answer all these rules questions B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamaNagol Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 You can now give Regular Assault Squads 2 Meltaguns in a 10 man squad. And you can give Meltaguns to 4 out of 5 Honour Guard members. Vanguard Veteran Assault Squads can no longer have special ranged weapons other than our new pistols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 if vanguard have packs youll want to deepstrike so melta wont get used straight away anyway whenthey arrive. if in a veichle without packs youll be betterwith sternguard with combi meltas to pop tanks. if you want melta jumpers then hounourguard (would mix them with melta and fists, and inferno pistols with powerweapons...)

Gv0zD Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 As it was already mentioned by fellow brothers our Veterans can not take MGs, however, RAS or HG are able to take MGs, and IMHO it is a good thing. VV are better used as hard-hitting unit capable of taking out tough enemies in CC (if you equip them with StormShields they'll become even tougher :rolleyes: ) I personally like that we can field HG with up to 4 MGs to pop up tanks (especially if they are teamed up with a Libby w/Blood Lance), while our VV will engage in CC. As Brother nathan said, the choice of type of veteran squads depends on your style. VV should go with jumper list, while SV are better with mech list.
